travel.gc.ca: One-stop-shop for information for Canadians travelling and living abroad

Travel.gc.ca integrates the web content and services of twelve federal government departments and agencies into a single Government of Canada website designed to provide a one-stop-shop source of information for Canadians travelling and living abroad.

The Travel.gc.ca website is the Government of Canada’s one-stop shop for Canadians travelling, living, studying and working abroad. Before a trip, Canadians are encouraged to consult travel advice and advisories to learn about entry/exit requirements, local laws and security conditions in their destinations.
